No, I think that immigration reform has to come first or at the same time. As it is, the Trump administration is expending tremendous resources and political capital on things like tearing babies away from mothers, while not working on immigration reform, and taking away resources from things like actually pursuing drug and human traffickers at the border (which everyone can agree is important).  A practical approach would likely recognize that trying to deport everyone that we have here now would be tremendously costly, so that would have to factor in.

If your overriding focus is "ILLEGALS ARE BAD!!"  then that gets in the way of thinking rationally about policy.  [/quote]

You don't have to deport people. You just have to make employment and the use of public resources impossible, and people will stop coming.  People come for better economics, and if this becomes impossible, there is no incentive to come.[/quote]

Which does not answer my original question: how do you propose to run the economy without enough low-skilled workers?[/quote]

by being better parents and raising children to respect all jobs . . .  The person prepping your food at Chik-Fil-A is no less important than your daddy in his law firm.

It's a mindset shift, and liberals and conservatives are equally to blame for creating an entitled generation.[/quote]

No amount of "respecting" people who work at Chik-Fil-A is going to mean that someone makes the rational choice to work in fast food rather than in an easier, higher-paid profession, if they have that opportunity. While I agree in the dignity of all workers, I'm not sure what your point has to do with immigration.  [/quote]

For some people, working at Chik-Fil-A IS an easier, higher-paid profession.  There are enough people like that domestically.[/quote]
